 23 – Telescope
“Mars is bright tonight.” Luna lifted her eyes from the telescope she was gazing through and turned it so Neville could have a turn.
Shuffling closer to her, Neville gulped and placed his sweaty hands on the tube. It was awkward enough being with Luna alone at the astronomy tower, but having to adjust a telescope by himself was too much to ask his jittering nerves.
“Here, let me help you,” Luna offered calmly, unfazed. She lightly placed a hand upon his and turned some knobs with the other.
His heart was palpitating now, but he fought down a blush.
